Romance Review : Nuisance+N​on sense = Romance
Many directors are known for showing women beautifully and sacredly. While Bapu showed quintessential Telugu girl in his movies, Raghavender Rao defined beauty through his heroines. While K Vishwanath showed the cultural side of women Kodi Ramakrishna showed the valour in women. New age director Maruthi has showed the cheapness and sleaze in women. He needs to be patted for degrading women to such a low grade. After watching Maruthi’s movies, our mind gets so much perverted that we will start suspecting the girls in our homes and our better half. Once gain kudos to Maruthi. Darling Swamy is director for Romance. But Maruthi mark is evident in each and every frame. By combining ‘Ee rojullo’ and ‘Bus stop’ and mixing a bit of Maruthi’s perversion, Romance has been offered.

There is a lot of difference between love and romance. While love is a sacred and sweet feeling, romance caters to the sensual pleasures. Director should have known this basic difference when making a movie with that title. In a bid to say the difference between ‘Romance’ and ‘Love’ director Draling Swamy himself got confused and confused audience. Finally with the sole aim of grabbing youth audience Romance team has dished out all the mean stuff in the name of youth. Let’s know how much more nuisance and non sense is there in this story.

Krishna (Prince) is an Engineering student. He has his own opinions about love. By banking on certain concepts like first love, first kiss, first hug he looks for a girl who is a virgin and he should lose her virginity only because of him. He meets a girl Lalitha (Manasa) and falls in love with her. She takes him to his room and asks for ‘that expericne’. Krishna fears that as this girl has asked for sex she might have already had the experience. But in a drunken state both spend a night and later break up. At this juncture he meets Anuradha (Dimple) and feels that she is the perfect girl for him. One day he brings her to his room and makes advances. Anuradha slaps Krishna and avoids him. By seeing this Krishna feels that she is the perfect girl for him. Exactly at this juncture story takes a U turn. To know what turns it takes and what surprises it has to offer, one has to watch the movie.

To put it succinctly, if we tell the story of Romance in single line, it appears less than a Kamasurtra and more than a condom advertisement. Romance appears like a continuation for Busstop with Maruthi mark sleaze ad double meaning dialogues. Maruthi rule is to show whatever you want to bring youth aduince to theatres . He has followed it even in Romance movie.

Don’t know why Maruthi and his team has so much low and degrading opinion about women. In his view girls use boys for money and cell phone recharges and in return boys use girls sexually. A girl breaks up with a guy saying that he is a waste fellow, as he did not do anything when she went to his room in the night. There are many demeaning and vulgar scenes like this in Romance.

Many are very sad about small movies getting step motherly treatment. Many are ruing the fact that small films are filled with sleaze and vulgar content in the name of youth trend. Such type of people will find it more disheartening if they watch Romance. If director feels that Titanic movie is all about kisses and romance in cars what can one say? If director himself can’t understand great ness of love depicted in classic Titanic, what can we expect from a movie made by him.

We feel so disappointed and shocked after watching Romance that we don’t even think of evaluating artistes performances and other elements in the movie.

Finally a word. Youth will not alwys fall for sleaze and adult content. Romance is a wonderful feeling which has to be experienced with the pureness of tender hearts. Youth yearn for that marvelous and once in a lifetime feeling. It is not that youth are always looking out for chances to lay their hands on partner’s body. Instead of the pure fragrance of Romance, Romance team has shown sexual perversion in the name of Romance.
